A Project to Connect Salt Lake
City and Los Angeles.

Slty ana Ion AnScleSs
S. F. Call
Though the rumor of Jay Gould's
connection with the purchase OF Rat
tesnake Island receives but slight
degree of credence amongst railroad
men, it is generally accepted that
some corporation intends building a
line from Salt Lake City to Los
Angeles; also, that the projectors OF
this line are not allied either with the
Union Pacific or the Denver and Rio
Grande. The new road is to be a
standard gauge, and its projectors
claim they have discovered for it a
very level route, one on which the
maximum grade will be only 60 feet
to the mile. 1t is to be quite indie
pendent OF the Utah Central, which now
runs from Salt Lake City southwest to
San Francisco as a connection of the
Union Pacific. The road will
be six hundred and fifty miles
in length, and will run southwest from
Salt Lake City through pass in the
Snake Mountains into White Pine
county, Nevada, thence south through
Nye county, along the great Nevada
plateau. Thence on, the road runs
through several large valleys, touch
ing, perhaps, at Las Vegas in South
ern Nevada, and utilizing some miles
OF the valley of the Colorado river.
The worst portion of the entire route
is that i'll the Mohave Desert, through
which the line has necessarily. to
cross to reach San Fernado Mountains.
The old stage route has been found to
offer the best line through this steep
range to San Bernardino, whence a
very easy route is obtainable to
Parsadena and Los Angeles. Its pros
pectors claim that the widest stretch
OF desert on their route is only thirty
five miles in length, and that the line
will open up the greatest mineral belt
on the continent. 1t will certainly
mean short route from Los Angeles
to Chicago, the survey line showing a
saving of several hundred miles over
the line of the Santa Fe system. ,Ihe
company owns 5000 acres OF coal
lands in Utah, and has already ac-
quired AZ acres at Salt Lake, tor
terminal purposes. The citizens of
Pasadena have granted right-ot-WaYg
facilities and depot grounds, so that 1t
seems as though the line was thor
oughly organized for progressive work;
A gentleman prominent in railroad
circles said to Call reporter that he
failed to see the necessity OF this par.
ticular line when so many stretches OF
very fertile country in Northern and
Southern California are without rail-
road facilities. "Wiiy," he said, the
very worst paying portion of the Cen
trail Pacific line is that which ira
verses Nevada; the local traffic is very
light and the population very sparse;
Should mineral traffic be developed
the road would pay, but that is some-
thing which has yet to be proved.
This portion of Nevada has generally
been regared as a desert. The move
seems to be one directed against the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa re
Company. which would undoubtedly
be injured by the entrance OF line
shorter than their own into Los
Angeles" 1a,.o

Girls Who Use Bran Rags.

Young women who are just begin
ming TO come back from the long Sum-
mer holidays are greatly troubled by
the stern qualities Of the tan they ac-
ouired in short-sleeved bathing gowns
and in loose-throated tennis-blouses,
not to mention their hands and faces.
One clever New Yorker who has been
out a season or two and confronted
this difficulty before conquers it in
this way: She takes six pounds OF
barley and boils it until it reaches the
consistency of very thick cream.
While this is still warm she presses it
thick over her entire body, wraps her
self up in two or three thick blankets
and lies on couch by the fire while
her maid reads aloud to her for an
hour or two. Afterward she takes a
warm bath. She does this for about
ten days, and by the end of that time
not only has she removed every parti!--
Gle of the tan, but her skin is as soft
and velvety as three weeks old baby,
and is as white and rosy as the very
first season she came out. She is very
fair and sometimes gets very hard
ened and malignant freckle or two that
the barley can't move. A little lemon
Juice goes deeper and brings that out
too. Sometimes the " barley soak y
relaxes the skin too much, and then
a little gin makes it firm and smooth
again. Nearly every girl who takes
much care of her skin uses the French
bran bags. These are imported, and
are bags about five inches long by
three broad, made OF light cheese
cloth and loosely filled with wheat
bran, little powdered soap and orrls
root. They are used in a warm bath
like a sponge, and leave the skin soft,
smooth and perfumed all over with a
faint odor of violets.-New York

A Yearly Ceremony.

A missionary to the Indians in Brit
ish Columbia took keg OF whisky
and poured it over the grass in the
presence OF the young people. 1t de-
stroyed all the herbage. The chief
then told them that just as it burned
the grass it would burn them If they
drank it. This experiment has become
yearly ceremony with the Indians
and there has been very little trouble
with the liquor question since.

An American Custom Abroad.

There was Westerner at Cologne,
Germany, month ago, who. caused
considerable laughter. He was SUI
fering some linguistic difficulty in the
attempt to explain to customs official
the necessity OF carrying two bottles
of liquor, one of whisky and another
of brandy. Owing to the inability OF
either to comprehend the other
the loss OF one or both of the precious
bottles was imminent, when Ger
man-speaking Englishman, who had
been entertained by the controversy,
stepped up and offered assistance to
the American. "I will very cheer
fully help you out" said he. -.
"You're an Englishman, l reckon" ="
suggested the Westerner.
AZ am, but speak German and will
be pleased to interpret for you," and
then the Englishman proceeded to
tell the officer that it was customary
in America to carry about two or three
bottles of liquor in ones satchel.
"Now, see here," interrupted the
Western man, "this German is all
well so far as it goes, but my language
is good enough for me, and what's
good enough for me is good enough
for anybody. It's only a question OF
time when the whole world will be
speakin' the American language. and
the sooner these people over here un-
derstand that the better. Now, Pm
| in for helpin' 'em to learn, and II
you'll just let me alone few minutes
I'll keep at this cheese-eater till he
catches on to what Pm drivin' at"
The Englishman drew back, ant
the Westerner renewed his earnest eX
planning till the German closed hi
satchel and chalked it, whisky bottle
and all, with the dubious air OF a pei
son who had agreed to something h
! could never hope to understand.

DUN s. CO.'S BUSINESS REVIEW.

Temporary Rallies Partially Cover the In
roads Made by Failure and Frand.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2-R. G. Dun &s Co., in
their weekly review of trads. say: Joyful rallies
In the markets for the moment hide the effects
of failures and frauds in rather unusual number.
The sale of the Baltimore & Ohio Express Com
pany supplies cash for some time to come, but does
not involve adjustment of other interests, as the
street imagnes. The sale of valuable secu rites
by the Oregon & Transcontinental probably
looks to a change in the management Of that
and connected companies, rather than to general
liquidation. But all these and other changes do
not remove the difficulties which excessive spec
ulation has caused Reviving confidence in this
market appears to have for its chief basis be-
lief that heavy operators want prices higher,
rather than wsll-founded assurance Of a change
in the condition of properties or of business.
Crop reports are unchasged to wheat, still
conflicting as to corn. and decidedly more I'M
favorable n to cotton, the injury in the Mem
phis district being reported at Al per cent in
Tennessee, and from % to % per cent. in ad-
jacent parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Arkan-
sas. New Orleans also reports prospects dsclin
ing week by week. In some parts of the North
west corn was materially helped by rains, in
others scarcely at all Trade reports are uni

in the iron and coal trades have a discouragng
